And you're done! You should now be running 14.2 for Apple TV 2 (last supported version for the platform). See here to verify your Kodi version.

2 Installing from NitoTV

NOTICE:While this should work in theory, the official installation method for Kodi is to use the command line instructions. If you have issues with any of the Nito installers then please try the command line instructions to see if that fixes the issue. Nito simply gives a GUI for those command line instructions, so it should work, but Team Kodi has no control over those installers and cannot update them or see any errors from them, or anything like that.

NitoTV on the Apple TV 2

Scroll right to the NitoTV menu on the Apple TV and choose the first option "Install Software".

Scroll down the list until you see "Kodi-ATV2" and click on that.

From that menu press "install" and your Apple TV will install Kodi and then do a SOFT reboot (no tethered boot required).

Kodi will now be in your Apple TV menu, scroll right to it, click and enjoy.

And you're done! You should now be running 14.2 Apple TV 2. See here to verify your Kodi version.

3 Updating

Either update through NitoTV or issue the following commands to update:

Note: To go back to a stable version of Kodi you might need to first uninstall Kodi and then use the normal install instructions, or manually download the stable release deb file and install using the dev build instructions.

4.1 Going from Kodi to XBMC

Due to the name change, the steps for downgrading between Kodi (starting at v14 and up) to XBMC (v13.2 and lower) requires slightly different steps:

Open one of the above URL locations in a web browser and copy the url of the version you wish to install.

5 Uninstalling

5.1 Uninstalling just Kodi

SSH into your Apple TV (Using the same instructions from above to login). Then run:

apt-get remove org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

or

apt-get remove org.xbmc.kodi-atv2

It will ask you if you want to continue:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
org.xbmc.kodi-atv2
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

Just enter "Y" to accept and continue.

5.2 Removing settings

Kodi will uninstall from your Apple TV but will leave certain things (databases and everything in your userdata folder) behind to make it easier if you wanted to reinstall. To delete those also run:

rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC

rm -Rf /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi

This will then be completely clear and Kodi will be removed.

5.3 Deleting Kodi dependencies

Kodi has three dependencies that it installs along with itself when you first install Kodi (org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock, gawk, bsdiff). After uninstalling Kodi you can also uninstall these 3 dependencies by running this command:
